200 CHOLERA 



with large numbers. # The latest report from Dr 

 Arthur Powell, the Medical Officer, is quoted in 

 Dr Simpson's 1896 report : — 



At Kalain — 



1079 not inoculated had 50 cases, with 30 

 deaths. 



1250 inoculated — 3 cases, with 2 deaths.f 



At Kalaincherra — 



685 not inoculated had 10 cases, with 7 deaths. 

 155 inoculated — no cases. 



At Degubber — 



254 not inoculated had 12 cases, with 10 

 deaths. 



407 inoculated — 5 cases, all recovered. 



At Duna — 



1 2 1 not inoculated had 4 cases, with 2 deaths. 

 29 inoculated — no cases. 



At Sandura — 



454 not inoculated had 2 cases, with 1 death. 

 51 inoculated — 2 cases, with 1 death. 



* "As a field for testing the value of inoculation, the tea- 

 factories of India possess many advantages. The labourers 

 being under contract, the after-history of those inoculated is 

 easily followed up. Each morning the adults are paraded for 

 roll-call ; and all sick must attend hospital, where a record is 

 made of their disease and treatment." (Dr Powell, Lancet, 

 13th July 1896.) 



t u It is unfortunate that neither of the fatal cases among 

 the inoculated was seen by any medical man, not even an 

 unqualified doctor Babu." Dr Powell does not think, from 

 what was told him, that one of them was cholera.
